Anyone see the photo of Gordon Elliott sat on a dead horse? Fucking disgrace.
So Elliot the prick got a six month ban, in reality his yard will still run as before only under a different name. A similar case emerged as Jockey Rob James was pictured sat astide a dead horse laughing, should be no excuses and both should have lifetime bans.
No matter how much ITV Racing pull those concerned faces and talk in grave tones the simple fact is that Elliot will be back at the start of the next NH season (proper) and it will still be somewhat raw.The punishment just doesn't, in any way, negate the damage done, particularly in the minds of the general public and when he is pictured smiling in the winning enclosure and the uninitiated enquire of his identity he will forever be the trainer that sat smiling on a dead horse for a funny photo. And for those of us that follow Racing, we will always have doubts about just how well his horses are treated.
